[@araw19india]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup I have been avidly watching your videos especially after I grew interest in photography. now that I have never been with any camera except for a Fuji point and shoot bought almost a decade back, I wanna try my hands on a DSLR. I did some research of my own and stood at either d5500 or d80. now I am utterly confused, but somehow I am more inclined towards landscape, night sky and low light photography so I find the Nikon d5500 more better than the Canon 80d (I know they somehow don't belong to the same comparable lineage and price range of their brands). The 80d gvies such a good video experience but at the DXOMARK​ site they rate it way below the d5500. I also checked the 800d but am not somehow satisfied. HELP! Love from India :)

Hi Abhishek. This might be a bit late, as I have only just discovered Tony's marvellous tutorial on KZbin. I am about to buy his books. I have the Nikon D90 and also the Nikon D5500. My D90 is a heavy camera and I have made some great pictures with it, but mainly on Auto. The same goes for the D5500, which has twice as many pixels - that's why I chose it - but I will have much more pleasure when I have learnt how to use it properly. I can recommend the Nikon 5500, but the 5600 does a little more, like built in Time Lapse.

[@jesiahsamson2297]

A tip : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@tristanjaxen3398]

@Jesiah Samson yea, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@michaelfounty7121]

Got the camera today and you have no idea how happy I am with LIFE.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Michael Founty Congrats! Enjoy it!

[@Ps3COD4Fan]

Im considering buying this camera, I currenly use my note 8 which has 12MP is it worth the money to purchase this camera? One last thing how easy is it to take selfies with others by extending your arm afar?

[@ONepenthe]

Both my wife and I have recently retired and have taken up photography as a hobby. Our first camera--the Nikon D5500. Tony's video is a great way of reducing the learning curve in becoming familiar with this camera and getting the most out of it's use. Now onto reading his text, "Stunning Digital Photography." Thanks for this great effort, Tony.

[@yoinoue3983]

This is a great tool for a beginner like me who only has used a point and shoot. You walked me through my camera and learned how good it was....the rest of your videos are equally novice friendly. Thanks.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad I could help!

[@maglanit]

for me this is the best review you've ever presented Tony, well articulated, so informing and very detailed one by one feature presentation regarding this camera Nikon D5500. by the way just bougth 1 ebook from stunning digital photography to enhance my knowledge on photography. Thank you!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+maglanit Thanks, and glad I could help!

[@baronmichelle523]

This is a phenomenal tutorial. I have owned digital cameras for 8 years but just purchased the Nikon D5500. This tutorial saved me months of experimenting with the complexity yet functionality of this camera. Believe me the user manual gives you a drop of info. This tutorial is better than a D5500 for dummies book. I was so impressed I ordered his "Stunning Digital Photography" (hard-copy) which arrived from Amazon in 2 days. If you invest in a camera of this caliber and cost, watch this video, you will not regret!!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Irish523 Thanks, and glad i could help!

[@moelevinerules6732]

The Northrop’s rule! I’ve had this camera for several months, and this video taught me a whole lot more about this wonderful camera. I will be buying their book today, as well. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@RobertsonDMcI]

I watched the entire video .. outstanding.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

David Robertson Thanks!

[@arhanwaheed7150]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup ..please share a detailed review of nikon d3400

[@TimberGeek]

Indeed, I started at 3:06 (ports) intending to jump forward but wound up watching from there.

[@stephenbatley9335]

Just picked up a d5500 as my first real camera and just wanted to say this video was immensely helpful. Thanks so much.

[@binkzengel8017]

Super helpful, I have owned this camera for years and didn't reallize what I was missing until I watched the video- excellent to practice along and bookmark for future reference.

[@NotesOnHobbies]

This is perfect because I just bought a D5500 and all I needed was an hour to get used to it. Thanks Tony! Great video, great tips!

[@SandSoldierPrep]

Hi all, I just wanted to tell all of you that have not bought the books and videos, that I bought all three paperbacks and the videos, and that was before I bought my 5500, which was actually my second camera. But the little bit of information you get from youtube is nothing compared to the great information and videos in SDP or the book on Lightroom!! I strongly suggest that if you are serious about learning your camera, the very small amount of money that it cost for all of the information you get is nothing and it helps insure that Tony and Chelsea keep writing books and making the videos that we all enjoy!! Thank you Tony and Chelsea for the great books and videos!!

[@teebo9844]

Where have you been all my life. You are a great teacher. I think am going to buy this camera and your books. You guys ares awesome. This is great for beginners like me. :)

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Terry Lebo Thanks, and glad to help!

[@weareborgunicomplex]

Awesome tutorial learned a lot about my D5500.

[@rickhartmanii]

I recently bought a factory refurb D5500 and cannot tell you how many times I have referenced your video. Thanks, so much. I also purchased your SDP and Lightroom physical copy books. They are a great resource and really really high quality printings.

[@mustream1234567890]

THis is an awesome tutorial Tony.... I just purchased the D5500.... You and your wife do excellent work... I love your videos, it's helping me alot..

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+mustream1234567890 Glad I could help!

[@tommccurnin524]

One of the Best Videos on the D5500 Tony has a great personality and presence which makes watching this informative video a joy.

[@rkdillard69]

Since watching your videos I've learned so much about lenses and taking better photos. I watch daily and I'm getting all the books. Thanks man.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Ronald Dillard Thanks, and it's my pleasure!

[@ramasrinivasanvelmurugan5678]

excellent narration by Tony & Chelsea Northrup on important aspects of D5500 Nikon camera...really useful for beginners

[@arturs1122]

Great job! I love your reasonably comprehensive and well-ordered reviews. Thank you!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

You're welcome!

[@joelylia4233]

Thanks. I bought this camera used on eBay w kit lens included for a little under $500. And yes I bought ALL your books. I've learned a ton from you guys. Thanks again.

[@warfire24]

I just purchased my Nikon D5500 yesterday to replace a Pentax K2000 DLSR, which I never really liked. So far I am impressed with the Nikon and this video has helped me immensely. Absolutely love this video for reference. Thanks for making this!

[@magic2066]

YOU ARE THE BEST. after seeing your tutorial, i bought all your books. this is the pro way how to teach. the books wort more than you charge comparing to the rest on the market. so easy to learn your way. many thanks for you, your high understanding and well organized and well explained system. joseph and family

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

I just bought this camera, and this is by far the best tutorial I have seen so far

[@1syrc]

Great video, ive just ordered a D5500 after having a Nikon P500 bridge camera for a few years and this video has helped me no end.

[@reggaemolasses]

Awesome instructional video. I just bought the D5500 with 18-55 VR and 55-300 VR lenses for my granddaughter. Thank you for such a great presentation and for the lens/flash recommendations.

[@josephnoto6211]

This is a great tutorial i've ever watch. Detailed every chapter, and most of all, everyone can understand. thank you very much.

[@timmead3631]

This is the best review I've found of the D5500... I've had my D5500 for 9 months and I keep coming back to this one. I also ordered "Stunning Digital Photography" e-book mentioned in the review.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, Tim! Enjoy it!

[@kunalbarve7463]

just got my nikon 5500 today and trust me this video was really helpful and got an entire overview in this fantastic video..thankyou so much tony

[@YamMaxim700]

Great video. I really love this camera. One tip - the Vivitar wireless shutter is only around $7 and works flawlessly.

[@ChrisTransue]

I'm here because I just got a D5500 and needed to learn how to use it. Just starting and this video helps a lot. I also got the book, so quite a bit of learning to get through. The chapters in the video are outstanding! They make it much easier to review and revisit pertinent areas. At this point I"m practicing AF-C vs. AF-S and focus area modes. Thanks for helping me get out of "auto" mode.

[@keithmelton864]

I just got my D5500. Thank you for making this video, and you time guide for finding specific info in the vid is awesome.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Keith Melton Glad to help!

[@randomlifedata6265]

+Tony Northrup Yep, just want to second Keith's comment - I used your review (along with others) to help me decide to buy the d5500 and the 50mm 1.8G lens, and then how to change the settings! I'll probably buy your book but let me pay off these purchases first...

[@s.t.entertainmentreviews7506]

Your kind personality, presentation and delivery compliment your photography brilliance so well. Thanks very much for helping others. Plan to purchase some items from you soon.

[@mahmoudalsaidi719]

Thank you Tony for this simple step by step guide to D5500, which I just got.

[@Tesseus2006]

Loved the video. You are awesome and very articulate and have great sense of humor! Thanks a lot! I will check your site soon!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks!

[@ivopires5116]

Tony Northup . One of the best doing this. I don't need to read the manual instructions :) Keep on going with the good videos, explanations are clear and informative.

[@travoltarulez]

Thank you. I've just bought a new D5500, and this video was an informative run through on familiarizing myself with the camera.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+travoltarulez Glad I could help!

[@rachelnaeem]

this the best video I have ever-seen. You sum up everything plus your accent is so look for non native speakers

[@MsIndigoLoveFreeForm]

Came here after going to the main website and finding I had to pay for basic informational classes. I appreciate this video. I will check for the book too.

[@chasefireflies9482]

The most helpful video I've seen thus far. I swapped from a Canon Rebel SLR to this Nikon. Thank you so much for the tips and hints!

[@d2704nny]

I've recently started photography with a DLSR and found this video absolutely brilliant. It's already made a massive difference knowing this information! Also, the bit about the lens - I've really been scouring KZbin for more informed, informative and unbiased suggestions for a next lens and yours has been by far the best. Thanks very much.

[@QLFProductions]

Awesome and very informative tutorial. I ordered the D5500 before it could be purchased in a store and I just found out that it has a histogram. Thanks Tony!

[@gustavomendez2785]

I have the D5500 for 3 years, know it pretty much... but, you has show me severals tips I didnt know...!!! Awesome, thumb up. Great Job.! greetins from Argentina.!!

[@perrydiggs6474]

Pretty cool. I was both over/underwhelmed with the instruction manual, but this video was great in explaining everything I need to know in order to get started. Picked up your book as well and can't wait to dive into that. Thanks!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Perry Diggs Thanks, Perry! And glad I could help.

[@taylorbrooks2480]

After wandering around wasting my time on other tutorials, I found you. I appreciated your step by step comprehensive overview. it is good to have the information delivered in a systematic way. i practiced right after and was amazed at the results. thank you. i intend to send for your books and videos. i look forward to them and expect to make quicker progress than i have for the last 20 years. (I'm also ADD!) thank you for giving yourself so generously. your voice and posture were calming. i got hyperfocused all day.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@jazzmanjuyod1]

Thank you Tony and Chelsea for all the help you give us budding photographers. I purchased the Nikon D5500 5 months ago. my first DSLR. Even though I researched the product on the internet I did not realize the Nikon D5500 does not have high speed flash sync or flash commander mode. I wish the salesperson made me away of these important features features. I now wish I had spent more and purchased the Nikon D750 full frame camera. Yes the Nikon D5500 is a good entry level camera for the price.

[@ebittner379]

Haven't taken a photography class since high school but this video was super helpful, thanks so much!!!

[@cycletim1]

After being away from photography for a long time I recently decided to get back in to it. My last camera was the Nikon N6006 film! Seeing everything that is available now is pretty overwhelming. I watched your comparison video on the D3300/D5500/Canon and I think a Sony...it helped make my mind up to get the D5500. Now that I've watched your D5500 tutorial I'm ready to finally open the box to my new camera. I will buying your books as well...I'm absolutely looking forward to taking some great photos. I'm especially intrigued with the HDR method...I think that style is absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work. Thank you so much.

[@fearlessleader1436]

Most info on the D5500 I’ve see. Have seen your comparison videos too. I am an experienced amateur shooter and greatly appreciate your honest opinions. Bought the D5500!!! Touchscreen , WiFi without adaptor (D3300 needed one I’ve had it ) focus points and my existing Nikon lenses carried the day. Thanks

[@TheRoobaru]

Great Video, thank you so much! Wanted a quick intro to all the buttons before I try them out. That's exactly what I got here.

[@georgedellinger5575]

Well organized. Communicates clearly. Fantastic intro. Have your D5500 in hand, so you can step through the features with Tony.

[@AlanSturgess]

Absolutely superb tutorial. My first digital camera was a Fuji S7000 (which I loved) then I moved to a Canon SX50HS bridge. Now I'm looking to move into DSLR and am currently battling to decide between the Nikon D5500 or the Canon 760D. Your demos and tutorials are 100% top notch and are proving very useful in helping me to make the decision. Many thanks for the time and effort you take to make such clear, well-structured uploads without any of the lame humour, weirdness or downright daftness I've seen elsewhere (like the fool who suggests someone takes photos whilst throwing the camera into the air -- with the inevitable result!). Thanks again.

[@mscccslp]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I got this camera for Christmas. I've used SLR cameras in the past, but have been using a point and shoot, or my iPhone. I need to re-learn a lot of things and this was the absolute BEST tutorial I have seen! It was well worth the time watching it and it was very helpful! Thank you again!

[@skyracerxp]

Just got my d5500 w/ the 18-55mm kit lense... my first DSLR. I was going to get one for those Sony DSC-RX100 point and shoots for my trip to the Grand Canyon, but I've always wanted a "real" camera, so here I am!! I just want to say I love your video and how you explain everything. I will order your books ASAP, however I think I learn fastest watching the videos. Thanks

[@Neil-Hanson67]

Thanks Tony i have just bought this camera and cant wait for delivery from France,i'm in the Uk so have a week or two to wait,but i have made notes from this tutorial and found it brilliant,Thank you so much.,just ordered your stunning photography book.Regards Neil

thanks for this video I grabbed the d5500 a couple months ago and I was having some issues. watching your video helped me a lot. subscribed

[@SERGE_Tech]

Live view and video mode sections will show you how to take video. something that took me a while to figure out. I went straight to video but it only made sense after I watched live view. Thanks again for the content! Best Regards, Sergey.

[@clementevicente5934]

A D5500 é EXCELENT , a melhor câmara dos últimos anos, feita por qualquer marca !!!

[@913egok]

This is very helpful. My new D5500 is my first DSLR and I'm also new to photography. So your beginner-friendly presentation style is exactly the kind of thing I needed to get started. Great work ! No doubt I'll be looking for more of your videos.

[@ashishkashyap9838]

Thanks for sharing this very articulated video. It's very helpful for any beginner with a 5500D.

[@steveiro1]

Thanks, great vid, highly informative. Ive had my D5500 for close on 6 months, spent £200GBP on a one day course plus buying various books (and still cant work the camera). I've learnt loads more on how the camera functions with this vid and feel I can go out and take some great pics without using the "green mode". Will be getting your book soon, nice one thanks.

[@RajKarma]

you are a gifted teacher, u really teach with a lot of love and dedication

[@germanhsu4148]

hi i just got this camera and your video made it so clear for me to understand how this camera works. thank you so much i did got your books since i want to learn how to take better quality pictures. im a beginner but hopefully i can become much better.

[@Crewchief227]

I'm letting this play in the background to hopefully give Tony & Chelsea more views. I like their videos and I appreciate that they are doing this for next to nothing.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Crewchief 227 Thanks!! :)

[@rwadaliraq]

+Tony Northrup good day sir i have Nikon d5500 and i need a good leans for it i need something wide angle - zoom and the aperture to be less then f 2.8 can you advice me please? thank you

[@Crewchief227]

+Rwad.Aliraq If money is not a consideration, which it would have to be for your request, then Sigma makes a 18-35 f/1.8 which holds the record for the fastest zoom lens for a crop sensor. Actually it would be a better fit at $799 then say the Nikon 18-55 f/2.8 at $1,500

[@rwadaliraq]

Crewchief 227 thanks for your great replay and help, but did you mean Nikon 17-55? because i couldn't find Nikon 18-55

[@Crewchief227]

+Rwad.Aliraq Ya I meant the the 17-55 see here: www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=300490&gclid=CjwKEAiAkb-zBRC2upezwuyguQ4SJADZG08vfJKShvRhOiVYdjp_jadmCbuACnSmO-FtsEczGrATIxoC70Hw_wcB&Q=&ap=y&m=Y&is=USA&A=details

[@peninsulamike]

Just bought this camera, the body only in red. Also purchased the 18-300mm Nikon lenses to go with it. Its my first DSLR. Your videos are very helpful, I appreciate you taking the time. This camera is very intimidating, just been using it in auto mode so far. I did order your book from Amazon, I hope it will get me out of auto.

[@yingchen8979]

Thanks Tony. I love your videos. They are so informative and helpful in particular for a beginner who may be at a loss where to start. I’ve recommended your channel to every friend who are interested in learning photography.

[@MsShannyH]

Amazing video, I just got my D5500... my D90 got broken long story. This video was very helpful!

[@josephallen19]

Perfect, thank you very much.

[@alexretondo]

+JoeRobinetBushcraft I second this. Your videos Joe were a big help is seeing the quality I could get out of this camera. Then I bought it and have since watched this video a billion times. Haha

[@cornlius1]

you just made me sure of which camera to choose. I`ve spent hours of reading testreports on systencams vs this and others. About to go nuts. But this was a great moment. I will use this tutorial, since I hate reading manuals :D

[@nick-al-joshstillstannding4929]

GREAT tutorial! You made it VERY easy for me to learn how to use the features on my camera. Initially, I was thinking about returning my camera because I really don't know how to use it....or anything about photography. Not only did your video help me better understand my camera; I also decided to give it a chance and learn how to use my camera. I am also looking into buying your book if I can find it on video. Thank you!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Kids Mom Glad I could help! You can get the book (which includes videos) or straight video tutorials without the book at Amazon (search for Tony Northrup) or directly from us at sdp.io/store.

[@joseantoniomartinez9785]

Excellent tutorial. This is the best one to actually learn to use this camera. Because this is aimed to teach the person who bought this camera and has no knowledge of the buttons and settings. You make it no brainer thoug. However, I didn´t understand what you mentioned at the beguining about other tutorials if the viewer knew this stuff already. I beleive these numbered tutorials are the continuation of this one, but I cannot find them. I need an extra tutorial for this. How a shame! Thanks

[@ofai69]

dangit i wish i would have found this channel before i bought my camera. Looking at your vids has given me great inspiration to take pics of stuff and look forward to getting your book and becoming a beast

Outstanding training, Since watching your videos I've learned so much about both Nikon and Canon systems. I'm very pleased with this tutorial and I'm going to buy this camera and will check again. Thanks in advance, You're awesome.

[@alopez16z]

Amazing job on this video! I just recently purchased a Nikon D5500 and was exploring it on my own not knowing what many buttons were for. This video has made it clear. Can't wait to go out and shoot some pictures in manual mode. :D

[@johnfkiitube]

[@TonyAndChelsea]

[@markussorrentino]

Thanks a lot, your tutorial explains the functions very well. I just bought a D5500 yesterday and i really like the video index here, so its easy to jump to that what i was looking for. Thanks again !

[@DanielVazquez]

Thank you so much Tony, I just got this camera, and since it is my first DSLR I was so confused about how they work. After seeing this tutorial now I feel confident. I'll probably get your book soon. Once again Thank you!

[@FlipFlopsQ]

Great tutorial / review -- I bought the D5500 after a lot of research and after watching this video. Love the camera. Keep the videos coming!

[@leonardlunardi8144]

Fantastic video, very informative. Learned a lot about the functions of the camera

[@michaelfenemore1168]

I just bought a D5500. This video is a great way to get started. Why would anyone give it a "thumbs down?" It's probably not perfect. So, what? Tony doesn't claim to be God or anything.

[@fflame88]

Amazing video, Mr. Northrup! I just bought the Nikon D5500--my first DSLR ever! And I'm already a huge fan of yours! I love your videos, subscribed to your channel and even bought your book "How to create stunning digital photography". It's an amazing book! Thank you for such an informative video! :) I look forward to Learning lots from you!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

fflame88 Thanks, and enjoy!

[@Halfpint71]

I've just bought one of these 2nd hand off ebay, so this tut is extremely helpful, especially as i've only ever used Canons and i've got no idea what all the buttons do. So thanks for that. Also, the reference to the AF-S G lenses is a big help as i'm looking for a decent budget lens and now i know what will and won't auto focus on this camera.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Dave Gilbert Glad to help!

[@blakejohnson8414]

Great video. Just got the 5500 yesterday and all the features were all but confusing until now. Good job. But I did notice you didn't cover the wifi features...And thank you for providing contents with your video! More youtubers need to do this.

[@bc_usa]

Tony. ..great video. I just bought one of these on Amazon. I can't wait to try it out on my family vacation coming up. Your video is very informative. Best video on Nikon 5500 I have seen. Thank you. BC

[@ianbirrell2340]

Excellent video, really helped me make my mind up to buy the camera and will be purchasing the books, even though I probably have enough to read already.

[@MrTorontomario]

I am loving this camera. Bought mine a few weeks ago. Shoots great video and pictures even with the kit lens 18-55. Once you get used to which settings to use.Also got this bad boy for the clean hdmi out very important for me.

[@johnjohnston6587]

Tony this has to be the most informative video on youtube for me, I enjoyed it and learned a lot about my new D5500, Thanks

[@MOOSKiCreative]

This was fantastic Tony! Very informative and well laid out. This has helped me alot. Thank you

My goodness DSLRs are confusing! My friend just let me borrow her camera to vlog Waikiki for Halloween 2015, but dang!!! Lots to learn!

[@TheFosterThorpe]

Excellent. Learnt so much about my new D5500
